Rule Changes: 3 (v35305)

Free Pros: Assault, Combat Girl, Karl, Gunner, Tank, Wascot

This is the last week for PAX East 2012 uniforms and TF2 throwback gear!

It's the Rule Changes of Iroquoi county. Once you've seen one Rule Changes, you haven't seen them all.

This week we really focused on the player experience of getting into a game. We've made the process of getting into a game by yourself or with friends much more clear. We've fixed some issues that caused certain players to queue much longer than they should. This should improve everyone's speed and chance of getting into a good game!

As always, feel free to leave us feedback at www.uberent.com/forums! If you have issues please email support@uberent.com.
The current version is: 35305. If you don't have this version, please restart your game.

- Fixed control groups breaking in the case where a hero has unit sharing enabled and another hero tries to control group one of the summons.

BOTS
- Bots can call out "top missing!" etc if an opponent goes away during the laning phase.

- Bots no longer forget/ignore units that are reincarning.
- Bots will now use couriers that are holding their items, even if the courier is currently returning to base.
- Bots will only use couriers that are idle in base, so they shouldn't grab couriers as soon as they stop moving in, for example, the secret shop.
- When a bot dies, if it had a courier en route, it will send the courier back to base.
- Juggernaut is now more likely to use Omnisliash in teamfights, particularly when he thinks he can get all slashes on heroes.
